Megan is making a bracelet using a pattern of 3 black diamonds and 2 gold diamonds. If she uses 150 diamonds in total, how many diamond are used?
- Based on the phrasing of the problem in question, the answer is fairly obvious...
((3)+(2))=(5)
...and in turn...
((5)*(30))=(150)
Then the answer is 30 sets of 5 diamonds equals 150 diamonds are used.
Alternatively...
1 diamond times 150 equals 150 diamonds used.
I hope that answers your question?
Kind regards...
